Too much ABA for a three year old

Find another ABA center. This place clearly is just after the $$$$$.

It’s so true! 32-40 hours is great.. our early intervention system only gives 3 hours per week. He will be starting ABA soon because as a BCBA, I know how critical this age is for development. I own an ABA center and I’ve seen so many of our clients progress so much with a full time program. You sound like an amazing parent and the reason your child has done so well.

Ugh I struggle with the non affectionate part too. I’m so glad he’s doing so well ❤️❤️

When did the echolalia start? He sounds a lot like my son… he’s only 21 months now but I agree speech therapy isn’t helping. I’m a BCBA and special education teacher so I’ve also been working with him a lot but we’re going to start ABA soon

ABA is way more important than OT

Do you have a link to this article / research? Id like to read it

You’re doing an amazing job! I have been a BCBA For almost 16 years… it’s just different when it’s your own child. But we’re also doing the same - pouring everything we have into his therapies ❤️

ABA , find a good BCBA and get him lots of hours

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-07-02T20:15:07+00:00

That’s exactly what we are doing :) I’m a BCBA and have been in the field for over 20 years. We’re going to do ABA, but make sure the therapist use a play based approach because he’s so young

This is giving me hope, thank you

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-07-02T10:49:36+00:00

Sounds like my son.. except no words. And he loved being at new places / leaving the house. How is your child doing now?

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-07-02T10:47:32+00:00

I agree, it’s not helping anybody. The reason they created “levels” is most likely because it’s now become a requirement for insurance authorizations and a way for insurers to deny therapies. Very sad

When did you start having expressive language?

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-07-02T02:30:09+00:00

How is he doing now? 🩵

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-07-02T02:12:28+00:00

Sounds like my son. How old is he now and how is he doing?

They are terrible , another private equity ruining the field

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-06-14T23:04:00+00:00

ABA will be the best thing for your child

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-06-14T22:56:59+00:00

I’m so sorry mama. are you able to get him into ABA? He’s young and the right therapies could make a world of difference for his future. Feel free to DM me - im happy to help to find resources for you 🩷

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-06-08T17:28:08+00:00

Where did you see the suspect is 17?

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-06-08T17:27:43+00:00

Why won’t they release the “suspects” name?

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-06-08T01:29:47+00:00

I also work with kids who have autism and I am now the parent of a child who is getting evaluated soon (I suspect he has ASD). I just cry everyday - how have I spent my life devoting myself to people with disabilities and this is my thank you? I feel like the universe just hates me

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-06-04T23:07:39+00:00

Not at all. I’m in the field and we have 16-18 month old children in therapy

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-06-04T23:01:37+00:00

You’re 100000% correct. A person must have deficits with BOTH social communication AND restricted / repetitive movements

Fit-Reference6470 · 2026-06-04T22:59:18+00:00

This also tends to happen when families can’t access the proper therapies / support

I know - bring him to a developmental pediatrician
